Get to Know a Mighty Partner: Western Landowners Alliance

Mighty Partner: Western Landowners Alliance

Who they are: Western Landowners Alliance advances policies and practices that sustain working lands, connected landscapes, and native species. In short: They’re working to build a better future for working lands in the West.

Why their work matters now: Private lands encompass the most productive and biologically diverse landscapes, including the majority of water resources – and landowners have a pivotal role to play in shaping the future.

Mic drop: “Our lands are like family. We want to know they will thrive. Private ranches, farms and forest properties are an important economic and cultural mainstay for Western rural communities… It takes more than just desire and vision to keep land healthy, productive and intact; it takes knowledge and science, money, skilled labor, community resources and supportive public policies.”

We’re in a defining moment—a moment where we can choose to be overwhelmed, disconnected and discouraged, or where we can choose to be positive, embrace change and lift up the work of others seeking a better future together. We’re proud to support the work of the people and organizations out changing this world for the better—for all of us. Some may be small, some large. All are mighty. Each month, we’ll be highlighting one of our Mighty Partners and we encourage you to get to know them, support them, and share their work with your friends, families and colleagues. Let’s get to work.
